Also included as part of the draft Specification for potential future upgrades, the terminal design shall be such that the terminal will be capable, without modification to the provided upgrade kit for operation in the Ka satellite communications band. As a separately priced option, the Government may be interested in proposals for a Small Aperture Ante nna Configuration where the antennas are one meter or less that could be employed at either On the Move (OTM) or at Quick Halt types of operation. The network would be a stand alone star configuration and for this inquiry may include the baseband or chann el level processing equipment. The Hub terminal may be included. The proposed solutions will be considered for Technical Insertion (TI) and Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) on existing production Army systems.
